Friday, June 24, the Supreme Court of the United States revoked the right to abortion at the federal level, which now leaves the freedom to the states to decide whether abortion remains legal or not. This decision is strongly criticized.
It is a decision that causes an outcry in the United States. The Supreme Court and its nine justices, with a majority conservative, let it be known that from Friday June 24, each State is free to choose if abortion remains legal. Spontaneous demonstrations took place to show dissatisfaction with the situation. For the anti-abortionists, it’s a victory, and they too took to the streets, but to show their joy. “It’s a sad day for the Supreme Court and for the United States”said President Joe Biden.
The President of the United States was not the only one to react since the former tenant of the White HouseBarack Obama, also expressed himself on Twitter: “Today, the Supreme Court not only overturned nearly 50 years of historic precedent, it also left the most personal decision to the will of politicians and ideologues.” In Missouri, abortion has already been prohibited.
